Jones Library Veterans Day Program

Veterans Day Program:

Remains of a War: Exploring WWI Battlefields

Saturday, November 10

2:30 in the Woodbury Room, Jones Library

The Jones Library marks the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day with a special program presented by Libby and Ed Klekowski on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 2:30 pm as they share their experiences in exploring some of the battlefields from World War I.

Libby and Ed Klekowski have been researching World War I for over ten years and have spent many hours walking through the battlefields of Verdun, the Meuse Argonne, and St Mihiel. Their work has resulted in three books and they have produced two WWI documentaries for public television. This special lecture will take the audience for a walk "on the wild side", where the dross of war still litters the woods.

  Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Free and open to the public.  For more information about this event, please contact Janet Ryan at 413-259-3223.
